Into the Glacier

Welcome to the Glacier. It is a mysterious place just out of humanity's grasp, just a little bit further than people, with their lights and their fire, can reach.

That is not, of course, to say it is uninhabited. Nor is it to say that no one ever ventures into the Glacier. People have their reasons.

You have your reasons.

Whatever their reason for trespassing in Winter's sacred territory, people try and quickly find that they do not belong here.

You Will Need:

• One standard deck of playing cards

• Two six-sided dice

• A character marker like a figurine or small toy

• A piece of paper and a pencil

You Might Want:

• A hot drink

• A favorite blanket

• A nice journal

Into the Glacier is a single-player journaling (or, if you prefer, map-making) game inspired by lots of things, including:

• Edmonton winters

• The Great Glacier sequence in Final Fantasy 7, my favorite part of one of my favorite games.

• Mapping the Catacombs, from Sorceress & Witch

• The Wretched & Alone games, based on The Wretched, from Loot the Room

• The Estate of Baron Archambaud, just a real work of art of a puzzle game.

• The 2020 Winter Jam, which I barely completed this game in time for.
